What is the test for making a claim of ineffective assistance of counsel in a habeas corpus petition?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from People v. Alamillo, 2d Crim. No. B265554 (Cal. App. 2015):

Alamillo also must show how any alleged deficient performance of counsel would change the result. (Strickland v. Washington (1984) 466 U.S. 668, 689.) He has not made such a showing. Alamillo filed a prior habeas corpus petition raising claims of ineffective assistance of counsel in this case. On July 17, 2015, the superior court denied the petition. It ruled he failed to make a "prima facie" showing of either deficient performance of counsel or prejudice. Alamillo has made no showing that the trial court erred in its ruling on that petition.
